In making ANSWER to the "EIGHTH/' it would scarce seem necessary to recount — a matter of which all the world is, by this time, doubtless informed — that has builded a great concrete dam across the Scioto River; and has established, at enormous expense, a Mammoth Reservoir, associating therewith "Filtration," "Softening," and 'Purification Plants." Her supply of water has thus been made prac- tically inexhaustible; and no city in the world does possess, or can hope to possess, a water supply more potably pure. In Typhoid Fever, if found at all, is found in a percentum so small as to be practically negligible. And so it is; you need fear no "stomach disorder," or "system derangement," should you, perchance, take " water for mine" when visiting ! In making ANSWER to the "NINTH," it should be borne in mind that there were those, in Biblical days, who "travelled from Dan to Beersheba and found all barren." From this, the inference may be drawn that those who "travelled," even at that early period of the world's history, did not, necessarily, in the things to be seen, take a common interest, or imbibe their enter- tainment from the same source. This is doubtless as true of to-day as then. However, is not alone filled with, but is surrounded with things that should prove of "historic, educational, or special interest" to the many. To begin with, is famed — and juslly so for her many beautiful Residences. Indeed, her "Residence Section" is, alone, "worth coming miles to see." Then, as you will remember, is the home of the Ohio State University— a great institu- tion of learning — beautifully ensconced in its grounds of broad-acreage, and magnificently equipped and Officered. More than 4,000 students may be found matriculating there, from year to year — hailing from every State in the Union, and every country in the civilized world. .YJWtt«4CWK«««Wt".J£AtvW*»£r, ■M^JifaWmw^H^^ N , too, may be seen Ohio's State House — an example of the Greek Doric style of Architecture unex- celled in this country — together with most of her splendid State Institutions; such as Penitentiary, School for the Blind, Insti- tute for Feeble Minded, School for the Deaf, State Hospital, Etc. It is in that the U. S. Govern- ment has established her largest "Recruiting Station." It is in that municipally owned "Public Utilities" — such as Electric Light Plant, Water Works, Sewage Disposal Plant, Garbage Reduction Plant, Etc., — are to be seen in their most extended and successful operation. A vast and beautiful plateau — nearly 1 ,000 feet above sea-level — surrounds , and is permeated in every direction with well-paved Highways; and "Motor Cars," at all seasons, find the features of "special interest" to which these lead, "located access- ibly." Among the very many things to be seen, or visited, in adjacence" — all of which, it is believed, "would prove of attractiveness or instructiveness to Delegates " — it must remain a source of regret that restricted space will allow but the naming of a few. As a fair example, however, mention might be made of the Hartman Stock Farm, containing 4,000 acres — a model for the world; "Leather Lip" monument; Magnetic Springs; Sulphur Lick Springs; Buckeye Lake — with its Motor Boats, Bass-Fishing, and Duck-Shooting; Indian Mounds — "Ser- pent" and others; State Serum Farm; Tuberculosis and other Hospitals — most modern in the country ; Girl's Industrial School; Boy's Industrial School; Wesleyan and Denison Universities, Etc., Etc., Etc. In making ANSWER to the "TENTH," let the fact not be losl sight of that cities can be too large, for purposes of "Convention-holding," jus! as they can be too small. A city is "too small" when it cannot supply, along with the physical needs of the "Convention," that "Metropolitan Atmosphere" so dear to the heart of the average Delegate. wseWd«*sS«*i*«s?«rtBffl«9mff«*Rw«a(^^ It is "too large, when it is found that the "Con- vention Spirit" and "hospitable disposition," have been out-grown; and, in the presence of "big business," are come to be ignored or forgotten. is certainly not "too small," since she is known to possess a population of nearly-a- quarter-of-a-million — all largely leavened with the spirit of civic patriotism — and "is big for h^r size." is certainly not " too large," since she still retains, in all its pristine warmth and vigor, the "Convention Spirit" and "hospitable disposition." It can be further said, that the Columbus "Local Press" — "Morning" and "Evening" — is, with its "news items," ever up-to-the-minute; is admirably man- aged in the conduct of its business; is ably edited, clean, readable, and progressive; and when "Conventions" visit the city, the world is "generously" informed of it, and learns, all "in fair consideration," of how they look, what they say, and what they do. In submitting these responses to the "ten interroga- tories" you are presumed to have "propounded," it has been the purpose to avoid all misstatement, or exaggera- tion of fact. We realized that the truth was being asked for ; but more than this, we felt ourselves enjoined by , whose mouth-piece we were made — as was Lodovico by Othello — to "Speak of me as I am, nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice." Recalling, too, that "Truth" is said to be "entrenched by volume of testimony," we have chosen to devote what remains of the pages of this Booklet to a presentation of Views of Columbus relying upon the Camera's un- biased expression, and what that must show, for such "volume of testimony," and cumulation of evidence, as will accentuate the " truth," as told you in our ANS- WERS," concerning "COLUMBUS AS A CONVENTION CITY" ^MU.'.«l)KI!g^ |J»>* ■{-!.».■ W.U'MJi'.IN .1.1, l'i.W;i'A"!'J,"J'-'-rV'JSrrl-";M,V.'t-'.^'.'?V *«JP ■ i.-.y MM.-- '.»..' — jJ.'J!'-UPJS»V.tn'Hi.».«».ui|i.i.iwj". . HEN Claude Melnotte had given descrip- tion to Pauline Deschappelles of his palace by the Lake of Como — "the home to which could love fulfill its prayers WtiNLIf\]*^ this hand would lead thee " — he concluded by asking of her, "Dost thou like the picture?" Even so would now ask of you, "Dost thou like the" ANSWERS? Should your judgment respond affirmatively, be good enough to remember, when the hour comes to elect, that Columbus Invites You warmly invites you, to be her guest, her hon- ored guest, on the occasion of Your Next Convention. Should it be your pleasure to yield her the preferment she is begging, it may be relied upon, that there will be found awaiting you— to be enjoyed in all the full- ness of promise — the substance of every "Auxiliary," "Accessory** and "Facility, " that has here been foreshadowed in "Answers" or in "Views** — saying nothing of the courtesy and hospitality that, with the people of "well never-failing. *' US , is a I s ^fis^tfc&^^r^w^K^®*^^ H-t A^r, ...^.y. ....... s ■ .I,. ...,»,■... ...■..■,-->^y^-. ..^i -f?-[r.if;,,.,.T1i<..~Yg?H Edited, Compiled and Vouched for by THE COLUMBUS CONVENTIONS AND PUBLICITY ASSOCIA T10N OMirrrs JOHN W KAUFMAN, President MAX MOREHOUSE, VICE-PRESIDENT HERBERT B.
